Viewers like you?

From a cultural studies perspective, Ouellette looks at public television in terms of five principal ideals: excellence, cultivation, citizenship, pluralism, and advocacy, united by her focus on tensions among progressive promises, classifying tendencies, and governmental aims. The study is revised from her doctoral dissertation for the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
